I was cheered last night by the support expressed after my presentation to the St. Johns County Legislative Delegation meeting by Commission Chair Cyndi Stevenson and several of our state legislators. I made a scheduled presentation on the St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Highway legislation (the third presentation in three years). See below.
I reckon there will be national park legislation in our future -- something to be proud of for our community, our culture and our environment. Given the state of the economy, it's not unlike the punchline to one of Abraham Lincoln's stories -- it's "root, hog or die." Here's hoping our enlightened local elected officials root for the national park as a way of stimulating economic recovery here in St. Augustine and St. Johns County. As JFK said, "a rising tide lifts all boats."
What do you think?
